I'm mostly curious about 5e but tagging this General because "always round down" is such a longstanding tradition in D&D. What's the point? Why not "always round the way your 3rd-grade math teacher taught you?" As far as I can tell, the main effect that "always round down" has on the game is...

Did anyone else notice that in the wereraven stat block presented in that they are no longer immune to non-magical non-silvered weapon attacks? Instead they have Regeneration 10 which doesn't work if they took damage from a spell or silvered weapon since their previous turn. This has a several...

I have just uploaded More Ships of the Sea to the downloads area. Hi! I decided that a sailing-oriented campaign should have more ships available than just "sailing ship" and "keelboat but with no oars," so I made a document that introduces 5 new categories: caravel, cog, galleon, schooner, and...

So, my group is playing through Saltmarsh and is going to get a ship soon, and if they want to add some weaponry to it, how much should those things cost? Is this listed somewhere, or are there any good points of comparison? (Assuming they have the space and the crew capacity. Actually the crew...

Totally real, non-rhetorical question from my players: Why don't we just burn the haunted house to the ground?

The demiplane created by the demiplane spell "...appears to be an empty room 30 feet in each dimension, made of wood or stone." Are the outer surfaces actually wood or stone, or do they just appear that way? Can you dig into the walls? What happens if you do? Can you effectively expand the...

Let's bring back an oldy but goody, permanency. D&D worlds are full of permanent magical effects, installed by high-level casters, and I'd like some mechanical support for that trope. The question weighing on my mind is, how can this be abused? Permanency 6th-level transmutation Casting...

Has anyone found or developed a more formal system for PCs to research spells? I'm looking for something with a bit more guidelines than the DMG (which has less than half a page creating new spells) but not so detailed that it takes an hour just to understand the system.

So this thread got me thinking about weapons again, and I got a creative itch and just had to devise my own Expanded Weapons table. I didn't go into this exercise with any particular goals, but in hindsight, I did this: 1. More "cosmetic" options: I'm the kind of person who really likes that...

I have just uploaded To Slay a "Dragon" to the downloads area. Another 2-page adventure! The evil gnome inventor, Yarbon Yunklebrow, exiled for crimes against demihumanity, has built a steam-powered dragon and convinced a group of kobolds that he is a prophet of Tiamat. This one for is...

What's a good source for getting a good introductory overview to Sigil, the City of Doors? I'm looking for something meatier than the DMG entry or the Wikipedia entry, but maybe not an entire sourcebook, either. Thanks!

I'd like to play more often, so I'm going to pitch my group a campaign with "rotating DMs", where several of us take turns DMing sometimes and playing at other times. Has anyone tried something like this? How did it go? Any pitfalls?

I have just uploaded The Cursed Pass to the downloads area. A 2-page adventure for 5th-level characters! Long ago, after a particularly harsh winter kept Neroun's Pass closed all year, a mysterious apparition called the Snowmaiden urged the troops at Fort Neroun to implement ritual cannibalism...

Sabrina Spellman Female Half-Elf Noble Warlock 7 AC 15 (mage armor, ring of protection) HP 66 (7d8+28) Speed 30 ft. Str 8 (-1), Dex 12 (+1), Con 10 (19 with amulet of health) (+4), Int 14 (+2), Wis 16 (+3), Cha 18 (+4). Saving Throws Wis +7, Cha +8 Skills Arcana +5, History +5, Insight +6...

I have just uploaded Revenant to the downloads area. Yes, I tried my hand at creating a revenant race! It's similar to the Unearthed Arcana version, but more undead. It wound up a tad more complicated than I would like. Please let me know what you think, and whether it could be simplified or...

I have just uploaded Druid: Circle of the Sun to the downloads area. Somebody mentioned an archer-druid, and that got me thinking martial-druid, and then I wound up creating this weird druid-cleric hybrid. You can find the file here in the downloads section. Please use this thread for comments.

I have just uploaded Psychic Class to the downloads area. Yaarel made me do it! Story-wise, I called it the "Psychic" because it's kind of part-way between the classic D&D psionicist and the modern pop-culture depiction of a person with psychic powers. I wanted to cover character concepts...

Holy crap, I had no idea this was a real thing, and invented by Gygax: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonchess That's an excellent Easter egg. I knew about the Three-Dragon Ante because it's from just a couple of years ago but I guess I always assumed that "dragonchess" was just a fun way of...

I have just uploaded Path of the Were-Beast to the downloads area. Barbarian rage already resembles the lycanthropic transformation; modern fiction rarely has someone transform into a calm, peaceful beast-person. Kind of as a thought experiment, I decided to see what kind of tweaks would be...
